INeeoremTION—Iilaving - sees that Jesus came to proclaim the kingdom of heaven, we now pass on ,o.the study' in detail of some of he• principles of this teaching. The Sermon an. the Mount is the most famous of all sere mons. Other discoveries pass and are fo_•gotten, but this great pronounce- ment is as fresh today as when it was uttered, It contains much of the finest teaching of Jesus, insomuch that some people will say that if we can only Iive according to the precepts of this man, we shall 'be' perfect,, This'is, as it were, the ethical program of `Chris- tianity. ' I. THE BEATITUDES,. 3-9. Vs. 3.5. The beatitudes describe the kind of blessedness, oe happiness, which :the true Christian is to obtain,: and they tell of the conditions which underlie these blessings. It is - not easy, to give a very clear` division but in e more er less rough way, we may divide them into r chime . groups: The Rest, given in vs. 3-5, deal with the outward conditions- in which men may, find themselves: Many of these to whom Jesus was preaching, were poor and anxious and destitute. They did not belong to the rich oe comfortable class. Many had deep •sorrow, and little to comfort them. These might naturally sae that :here wa no chant for theist in the kingdom of God. The were inclined to rega-'d.their poor con dition as e sign of divine disapproval. If Jesus had no message for this elan, he would not be .a world -Saviour; for the; poov:. and troubled always form a large majority of the population. Jesus does not say that poverty is, in itself, a blessing. Blessing may come in spite of the poverty, and sorrow. • For. life does not consist in the abun- dance of natural possessions. The joy that '.Tesus brings, therefore, is inde- pendent of worldly wealth. Vs. 6-9. This second group brings us from outward to inward' conditions; and we or told that there can be ..o "true happiness unless' the heart is right with our neighbor and with God. There must be righteousness, and pur- ity.and peace. If the mind and heart be set upon worldly ,things, and if there are wrong desires and ambitions, then there is no divine presence, Lie joy. Vs. 10, 11. We should include the third group.:. also in our lesson, since this ieeehe crown of all. Life without some great object, some goal, some passion, is not at its best, And Jesus says that the noblest of all passions is love for himself. He calls people to sacrifice for his sake, and in the glow of joy which comes from close friend- ship with him there is that which the world cannot give or take away. Study these suggestive words, "for my sake," • . II. JESUS AND OLD LAW, 17-20. V. 17. Jesus would inevitably en- counter opposition from those who did not tree with much of Isis teaching. To theist it was ;evolutionary, seeming to oppose the traditions of the Fath- ers. We gather from this verse that this opposition had become vocal, from which we conclude that this sermon was not given until his mission had advanced some distance. His enemies had said that he was opposing the law. Accordingly Jesus says that he has not comp to destroy either the law or the prophets, Ice is rather the one, who for the first trine, puts full meaning into the law, V. 19.. If any one teaches that the commandments have lost their binding fort.., or if any ono teaches the bind- ing nature of the commandments, but does not keep them himself, as these Pharisees were likely doing, they such could not belonfr to his kingdom. V. 20. Jesus is willing to have his teaching' tested by the Bole of conduct, and if his followers do not show a bet- ter result than others, he will regard thent-as unfit for the kingdom. We. might put the word "goodness" in place of "righteousr-ess,» and thus understand his statement as a chal- lenge to itis disciples to show that 'their goodness surpasses that of the scribes. III. VIE NEW LAW or LOVE, 43-48. V. 43. The verses that intervene are given to specific examples of the way in which Jesus reads anew Mean- ing into old legislation; and we now have the last of these, the law of love. We do not find the actual .words in the Old Testament, advocating hatred of our enemies (see Lev, 19: 19) but the rabbis had concluded from this pass- age that them were no obligations concerning those who were outside the chosen race of Israel. It is this nar- row, national spirit which Jesus at- tacks. It is the privilege and duty of the disciple of Jesus to regard all classes as his frineds. V. 45. To do this is to do what God does, who gives his blessings to alI peoplo. - V. 46. If they love only their friends ehey are no better than those who were looked upon as belonging to the most forsaken class, the publicans. For these people also loved their friends. V. 47. In loving their enemies they ere becoming perfect, since they are / getting more and more like God. English Manners Mary Bordeu In Ilarper's Maga- eine (New York): In England people oat'o less about good Planners than gooditorm.

It was, a liberal education. Of all his Boer contemporaries he is the most cosmopolitan. Nor is this due entirely to the fact that he went to Cambridge where he lett a record for scholarship, and speaks English with a decided accent. It Is because he has what might be called world sense. Smuts is one of the best -read men I have met. He seems to know some- thing about everything, Ile ranges from Joseph Conrad to Kant, from Booker Washington to Tolstoi. His- tory, fiction, travel, biography, have all come within his ken. I told hem I proposed to go from Capetown to the Congo and possibly to Angola. His face Iighted up. "Alt, yes," he said, "1 have read aII about these countries. I can see them before me in my mind's eye," One night at dinner at Groote Sahuur we had sweet potatoes. He asked me If they were cowmen. in America. I replied that down in Ken- tucky, where I was born, one of the favorite Nogro dishes was "'possum and Sweet potatoes." He took me up at once, saying: "011, yes, I have read about'"pos- sum pie' in Joel Chandler Barite' books." Then he proceeded to tell me what a great institution " 8r'er Rabbit" was.

And the Chicago Daily News moralizes: "Racketeering flourishes, only where weakness, timidity, and lank of ef- fective co-operation between the vie- tines iatiros and the agencies of law make et relatively safe. The way to fight the racketeer is to reslst him intelligent- ly, ntelligently, to make no compromise with him, to inform the State's attorney and the commissioner of police of any threat or lawless overture." Nevertheless, here is only one in- cident that entails further revelations of the terrifying racketeering situa- tion to evhich the prase ,gives much space. Chicago. Police Department information is- said to include a list of more than thirty labor unions from which one gaug planned to collect— thus extending the common method of gouging tailoring establishments, laundries, restaurants, elm, by gang leaders who intend to "muscle in" for control of bigger organizations and businessesto secure a share of the receipts. The secretary of theiehicage Employers' Association estimates that gangster preying on.legiUnlate business already nets $130,000,000 a Year, and 'eke fact that the Ohicago Coal Merchants' Association refuses to negotiate a new contract with the Coal Teamsters' Union, so long as as alleged thug and ex -convict continues to be the Tinton's business agent, brings up another concrete racketeer- ing issue. Says the Chicago Tribune: "It is to the credit of the coal mer-. olients that they, have dared to raise the issue and defy the racketeer; theirs is the first step toward freeing the community of the plague of viol- ence and blackmail which has made Chicago notorious the world over." Police Commissioner Whalen is quoted in the press as saying that he expects fat reaching results from his conferences with Commissioner Rus- sell, and pledges unprecedented 'era operation from the New York Depart- ment. Exchange of special squads of detectives and of evidence in racket- eering cases will be pitted against the pooling of gunmen by gangsters oe the two cities. Co-operation in the use of ballistics to identify weapons, as well as finger -prints to identify the criminals, is promised.

Kenworthy, R.N. The nineteen -twenties saw the slow liquidation of the effects of the Great War and the beginnings of economic restoration to make good its losses. I, prophecy that the nineteen -thirties will see great strides forward in the better organization of international relations. The Nineteen -Twenties saw a gen- eration in the saddle to whom the Great War was such a poignant mem- ory that they were scarcely able to appreciate its lessons. For example, the leading European nations were still inclined to pin their faith to armaments for their defence. But there are already signs that a new spirit and a new generation will climb Into the saddle in its turn dur- ing the decade aheadThere has been an extraordinary revulsion of public opinion against war and the causes of war the world over. Towards "United States of Europe." We commence the new decade with a vitally important Conference be- tween the live principal Naval Powers on sea armaments. Naval arrnantents have been more fruitful of national rivalries and misunder- standings in the past than land arma- ments. For navies may constitute a threat, which must be answered, on all the Seven Seas. Land armaments only threaten nations on either tilde of the frontier's, their close neighbors. If agreement can be reached for the drastic reduction of sea armaments by mutual agreement it will open the way for a reduction of laud and air forces. • There is a growing movement in Europe, tslich is particularly hopeful, against the extremes of ...,ationaiism. The next ten yews will undoubtedly see the first steps towards the ideal of a "cited States of Europe" in the putting down of artificial barriers be- tween, the nations, in the realization that Europe, as a unit, can stand by Itself, but that It cannot possibly do so as a conglomeration of hostile and warring powers. Our Glorious Destiny Aviation is bound to make great strides forward. By the end of an- other tett years It will be the recog- nized means of transport for- swift passage over long distances, And as aviation develops, not only will it bring the peoples closes together, as wireless has done already, but it will be an ever-present warning of the horrors that another great war would b-nng in its train, I am au optimist, and I believe the common sense oe the people, no less Man tate demands oe the taxpayers for econoneies and the urge of all for peace, will not only carry us through this coming decade without a war, but will make the possibility of an- othor great conflict + the future un- dikely. nngland and America will draw closer together; but this does not mean that we must draw away from our Continental neighbors or from the rest of the Empire.

C, Harrison, professor of bac teriology at McGill University, speak' ing on "Louis Pasteur—His Life and His Work," "In every country and in every age," ler Harrison. declared, "the realty great men are;few. In the 19th century in France, If you except Na' poleon, who really belongs to the 18th,, there aro two who stand out, Hugo, and Pasteur. While Hugo had a greater influence on his generation, Pasteur has had more influence sub. sequently in tho progress of the world," Sketching- his early history, Dr, Harrison told of Pasteur, showing an aptitude both as a painter and as a cheiuist., Demonstrated Findings After making interesting contribn- tions to the molecular theory, as it then existed, Pasteur fought a battle INS' the spontaneous generation cot- erie, who believed one could generate life without previous life. One scion. List even told him that mice could be generated by putting 'dirty rags in e jar. These folks he put to rout wheu he demonstrated his findings before a board of arbitration. Pasteur then went to work on the subject • of fermentation and made the dicta that them was no' fermentation without organism and every fermen- tation had its particular organisms. What he discovered about wine and its formation he passed ou to milk and to -day, Dr. Harrison stated, every bottle delivered to the door was pas' teurized. Pasteurization was the pro cess of heating a substance to' a point less than its boiling point, so as to destroy the tubercular bacilli without injuring the substance it boiled. No sooner had the 'battle of liquid disinfection been won till he turned to the silk worm, ravages upon which had reduced the revenue to Franke from 120,090,000 francs annually to 5,000,000, this within two years. it took two years "to win this victory, but the silkworm was brought back. Turning to beer, he devised some of the best brews the greatest brew- eries ever turned out by studying dif- ferent forms of fermentation. Revolutionized Surgery In surgery too, he revolutionized things, It had been said before Pas- teur's time that surgery 'was a neces- sary evil, gangereno and sotto pois- oning were rampant, and "a pinprick was the open road to death.' Thanks to Pasteur, this condition was revolu- tionized, and to -clay, Dr. Harrison said, the body could be entered with complete safety. Anthrax too was attacked by the pathologist, and from that he learned the principles of vaccination. Ile dist covered that if under certain condi- tions the disease was introduced into the body, the weakened germs would only give the host a mild attack and ultimately give him strength to fight off its recurrent ravages. On rabies he went to work in 1880, found out it infected the brain and nervous parts, dried infected chords in the body he had secured from dead beasts, and used Ude as an antitoxin. From this he went to diphtheria, and did great preventive work there. , 'Some day he will be a legend," Dr. Harrison concluded. "He started as a chemist and ended up a human. pathologist. He reduced grave scourges to small proportions. And all his great discoveries and great works were done after his paralytic stroke, a blow in itself which would have finished most men forever." Saving Humanity The Work of the Childrens' Aid Society is Building for the Future I5 is a mistake to suppose that the' Society's. Shelter is a public institute for'the training of neglected children. It la not in any sense a permanent Moine. It is much better than that. A more charitable and a far more en- lightened method is adopted than herding young children in a public in- stitution, with legal restraints, where all their associates aro of their own class and where they are without the kindly personal attention of a mother. The children are not detained any; Ionger than is necessary to instil good' habits and to secure foster homes fort them. But finding homes is not the only work- undertaken by the Sotiety.
